Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Review: A Powerful But Premium-Priced Tablet
Source: Lowyat.net
The start of my conclusion is one you’ve no doubt heard over and over, especially when it is in reference to a Samsung product: at RM3,699, the Galaxy Tab S9 is by no means cheap nor is it affordable, but I am hardly exaggerating when I say that this is a premium, high-end tablet that really makes its pedigree shine through. My contention with its already smaller form factor notwithstanding, 11-inches is still a lot easier to whip out in the middle of an airport terminal or coffee shop, be it to casually binge on a series you’ve been dying to catch up on, or to simply reply to emails quickly. The latter task made simpler, thanks in no small part to the keyboard cover that it comes bundled with. At the end of the day, the Tab S9 is, quite sincerely, the very definition of the phrase “You get what you pay for”. Given the hardware, power, and performance, it is, in my eyes, worth every red sen that Samsung is asking for.

Galaxy S9 vs. Galaxy S9+: Which Phone Should You Buy?
Source: Tom's Guide Archive.org version
After reviewing both the 6.2-inch Galaxy S9+ and the 5.8-inch Galaxy S9, we think the S9+ offers enough extra features and performance to justify its higher price tag. Still, the S9 is a solid upgrade over past Samsung phones in its own right and is a good choice for anyone who wants a smaller device or balks at paying more than $750 for a smartphone.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is a great phone, but one that hasn't really kicked on from the Galaxy S8, bringing a very similar design and screen to 2017's version. The improved biometrics were sorely needed, and the camera is a leap forward, but the amazing low light capabilities have resulted in sacrifices elsewhere.

Even a full quarter after its release, I have no hesitation in recommending the larger Galaxy S9+ in particular, even at its high price. There's a reason why it's currently atop our list of the best Android phones. Not only is it a remarkable top-end smartphone with tons of features, but it's also available just about everywhere in the world — high quality and wide availability are a great combination.

As noted, the Galaxy S9+ costs more than the Galaxy S9. Samsung sells its larger phone for a starting price of $840 while the unlocked S9 is available for $720. (Again, that's for the 64GB model. The 128GB S9 costs $770, while the 128GB S9+ costs $890; you'll pay $840 and $960 for the 256GB version of the S9 and S9+, respectively.) Prices on the two phones vary from carrier to carrier, but generally, you'll find a $120-$130 price difference between the two models.

Samsung Galaxy S9 second opinion review: A battery short of perfection
Source: Android Central Archive.org version
Despite its less-than-stellar endurance, the Galaxy S9 reminds us why Samsung remains a staple in the Android lineup every year. It refines all of the Galaxy S8's accomplishments and improves on its flaws, fitting almost every headline feature imaginable into a phone that's readily available across all carriers without costing an arm and a leg compared to similar alternatives. With the Galaxy S9, you don't have to choose between a great camera and a headphone jack, or between small bezels and stereo speakers. It's a jack of all trades that just does everything right, so long as you don't need two-day battery life.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is a beautiful piece of work. It’s future- forward design, the stunningly bright display and a re-engineered camera is an attractive proposition if you have the the money lying around, but it’s unlikely to deliver the satisfaction of buying something unique. Samsung’s flagship phone for the first half of 2018 is an iteration of its predecessor at best, and an underwhelming upgrade at its worst.

Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus Review – Perfected or astray?
Source: Android Guys Archive.org version
On the other hand, the S9 and S9 Plus don’t offer a whole lot from their predecessors. It’s the most minimal refresh we’ve seen from Samsung. And when that happens, it muddles the recommendation. Most will probably agree that the S9’s updates aren’t worth hundreds more. And it doesn’t help that its most highlighted feature, the variable aperture camera, doesn’t actually equate to much. The considerable benefits of the S9 are the dual speakers, wide f/1.5 lens, corrected fingerprint scanner location, and brighter screen. It’ll be up to you if that’s worth the extra dough.

The variable aperture shows that the South Korean firm is committed to coming up with its own unique ideas, but while the results are impressive when compared to the competition, we suspect most other handset makers will opt to use software tricks to boost the low-light performance of their smartphones, as is the case with the Pixel 2.

If you prefer a larger phone, the Galaxy S9+ is still the better option for you; you'll enjoy (slightly) better battery life, a bigger screen, a dedicated zoom lens on the back, and an otherwise identical experience. For everyone else, it's hard to think of many reasons not to recommend the Galaxy S9. It may not be the most exciting phone around anymore, but it offers something for everybody, and leaves little to be desired.

Samsung’s Galaxy S8 was a fantastic phone, and the Galaxy S9 is also a fantastic phone. They took the few complaints people had about the older model (like that fingerprint scanner) and fixed them while refining and polishing everything else about the device. It’s arguably the most complete package on the market, and at just $719 it’s plenty competitive with its contemporaries.

Overall, the Galaxy S9 is another winner from the South Korean giant, even if, fundamentally, what we're getting is a new phone in an older casing. All of the big changes on the Galaxy S9 Plus - and the standard S9 - take place on the inside; the outer shell is almost identical to last year's device. While there are a lot of elements in this package which don't work as well as they possibly should - AR Emojis being the prime example - there's no escaping the fact that in the fast-changing world of Android smartphones, the S9 Plus is the best that money can buy right now.

Samsung has been some nice software improvements on the S9 and I haven’t run into much issues. TouchWiz and Android Oreo have been playing together nicely. While the Galaxy S9 is pretty identical to the Galaxy S8 on the outside its hardware changes especially to the camera and its speakers are a much needed and welcome change. If you have a S8 I wouldn’t suggest the jump to the S9 but anything below that I’d say it’s worth the move.

Samsung Galaxy S9+ isn’t a perfect smartphone but it gets very close to the perfection in a highly fragmented Android smartphone segment. The strengths of the phone are its top-notch camera and solid performance. A premium design is an additional luxury. The Samsung Galaxy S9+ is more enjoyable for its superior camera capabilities rather than its looks or gimmicky AR features.

I have mixed feelings when reviewing the Galaxy S9, I loved that it still has one of the best smartphone designs with performance improvements, but I hate the newly introduced features and gimmicks that aren’t as exciting as it should be. To call the Galaxy S9 a refined Galaxy S8 would be an understatement, because it is simply a much better smartphone than it’s predecessor in terms of user experience. Despite of that, I’m still not changing the facts of my opinion on not buying the Galaxy S9, and I would wait for a price cut to make my upgrade. The Galaxy S9 is a difficult product to convince users coming from the Galaxy S8 or Note 8 to upgrade, because it is a smartphone that requires hands-on to be appreciated.

If we had to choose, we’d recommend the smaller Galaxy S9.

This year, the S9 is S$1,198, and the S9+ starts at $1,348 for the 64GB model, and goes up to S$1,498 for the 256GB model. That's S$100 more than last year's Note8 (albeit it was only made available with 64GB internal storage).

Samsung Galaxy S9 review: Here’s the problem with this perfect phone…
Source: Soycincau Archive.org version
The smartphone as we know it today has been around for about a decade now and while the recent shift in form-factor did breathe some new life into it, there doesn’t seem to be much more “revolutionary firsts” left with this blueprint. Instead, it’s now a battle of perfection and I think Samsung’s brand new Galaxy S9 is evidence of that.

Still, a bigger battery means more of a charge, and since the S8+ was able to outlast the S8 by 25 minutes in our battery test, we expect that the S9+ will top the S9 once we finish testing that second phone. If you want a longer-lasting phone, the S9+ is the better bet.

If you already own last year’s S8, we’d say take a pass. This blower doesn’t offer any essential new features compared with the previous flagship, and it sure ain’t cheap either.

The Galaxy S9 and S9+ are subtle upgrades to last year’s S8 line. The most significant improvements are found in the fingerprint scanner position, the new intelligent face scan feature, the AR Emoji 3D avatars, and the camera, but only for the S9+, which gets the secondary zoom camera of the Note 8. In any case, if you’re a current Galaxy S8 user, we’d say an upgrade to the S9 would be completely unnecessary, but that’s expected.

Just a quick personal observation. Samsung is finally learning to play the crowd with the Galaxy S9. Instead of just throwing new features, they're making sure things work better, and play better with each other. I really liked that small little tidbit about the Lilac Purple color not being some random afterthought and instead is in the spirit of Pantone's Color of the Year. For Samsung fans, the S9 is familiar and builds upon the features of last year's S8. It's not revolutionary, but it feels more usable, more accessible, and more fun.

Like we said earlier, potentially the most significant upgrades the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ bring are in the camera department - super-slow mo recording at 960fps, dual aperture capability on the rear camera sensor, which is capable of shooting at f/2.4 when there’s plenty of light, but can switch to f/1.5 when the phone detects low-light conditions. This is supplemented by a secondary 12-megapixel sensor on the Galaxy S9+ for a dual rear camera setup. Needless to say, the time we spent with the Galaxy S9 duo on Sunday wasn’t enough to make any definite comments on their camera capability, and we look forward to testing them out in detail soon.

Comment

Model: First announced in February 2018 and expected to arrive in March 2018, the new Android 8.0 (Oreo) Samsung Galaxy S9, is about to take the wave among all Samsung lovers with its 4 range of colors; Midnight Black, Coral Blue, Titanium Gray, and Lilac Purple. It is noted to have the best smartphone display in the market by DisplayMate. It is 8.5 mm in thickness and 163 g in weight. It goes by the size of 147.7 x 68.7 x 8.5 mm and is built on a front/back Gorilla Glass 5, lined with an aluminum frame. Single SIM (Nano-SIM) and hybrid dual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by) models are available. The benefit of this new addition to the Android family, is that it comes with Samsung Pay (Visa, MasterCard certified), and is IP68 certified towards being dust and waterproof resistant up to 1.5 meter and 30 minutes. It is blanketed with a Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen of 16M colors. Its 5.8 inches QHD+ screen features 567 PPI, a resolution of 1,440 x 2,960 pixels, and a 18.5:9 aspect ratio. Not to mention, it comes with a multi-touch function, is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 5, is HDR10 compliant, offers 3D Touch for the home button, and has an always-on display.

It runs on an octa-core CPU (4x 2.7 GHz Mongoose M3 and 4x 1.8 GHz Cortex-A55) for EMEA, and an octa-core (4x 2.7 Ghz Kryo 385 Gold & 4x 1.7 GHz Kryo 385 Silver) for the US and China, and a Mali-G72 MP18 GPU for EMEA and an Adreno 630 GPU for the US and China. The chipset works on an Exynos 9810 Octa for the EMEA and Qualcomm MSM8998 Snapdragon 845 for US and China. Moreover, it contains a microSD card slot, which supports up to 400 GB and uses the second SIM slot for dual SIM model only. The phone comes with 64, 128 or 256 GB of internal storage and 4 GB RAM. Added features to boost the interest among Android lovers, is the 12 MP camera with dual pixel PDAF, phase detection autofocus, OIS, and LED flash for its primary camera, whilst the secondary camera works on an 8 MP, autofocus, at 1440p@30fps, dual video call, and auto HDR. Its connectivity includes WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, FM radio, and a reversible USB-3.1 Type-C 1.0 connector. The Samsung Galaxy S9 supports fast battery charging (Quick Charge 2.0) of its , non-removable lithium-ion battery with 3,000 mAh (11.55 Wh). On the surface, the S9 may look very much like the S8, but on the inside, it has fixed a lot of the features missing from the S8. It also looks better and because of the new fingerprint sensor location, is more practical to be used. The S9 is a worthy upgrade for those who are looking for the latest in the market, but for those who are already using the S8 may want to skip this model.
